CERAMIC  MOSAIC 

Standardized  Sheets  and  Patterns 

J 

adopted  by  the  members  of 

THE  ASSOCIATED  TFLE  MANUFACTURERS 


This  publication  is  conceived  as  the  first  section  of  a  much  mere  comprehensive  one  on  this 
subject  which  is  in  preparation.  It  represents  the  first  results  of  the  standardization  work 
covering  ceramic  mosaic  effected  by  the  Associated  Tile  Manufacturers,  and  should  be  con¬ 
sidered  as  preliminary  to  a  more  complete  publication. 

/ 

Definition 

Ceramic  Mosaic  is  the  accepted  collective  term  for  unglazed  dust-pressed  tiles  one-quarter 
inch  thick  and  less  than  two  and  one-quarter  square  inches  in  area,  which  are  produced  in  a 
variety  of  sizes,  shapes  and  colors. 


Mounting 

These  tiles  are  usually  marketed  in  sheet  units,  i.  e.,  the  individual  tiles  or  tesserae  are 
properly  spaced  and  mounted  on  sheets  of  paper,  since  this  enables  the  tilesetter  to  apply 
several  hundred  tesserae  at  one  time.  The  mounting  paper  is  removed  after  the  tiles  have 
been  set. 


Standardization  of  Sheet  Sizes 

In  the  mounting  process  the  tiles  are  assembled  either  in  sheets  of  one  color  or  in  patterns 
of  two  or  more  colors.  When  setting  sheets  in  one  color,  so-called  “plain”  or  “solid”  sheets, 
they  can  be  joined  to  each  other  in  block  fashion  or  staggered  without  in  any  particular  way 
affecting  the  result.  But  patterned  sheets  must  be  laid  in  a  definite  way  to  insure  a  uniform 
repeat  of  the  pattern  motif.  It  is  for  this  reason  that  the  number  of  rows  of  tesserae  per 
sheet  formerly  varied  according  to  the  design  and  because  the  size  of  sheet  was  adjusted  to 
the  requirements  of  the  design.  In  this  publication,  however,  all  patterns  are  based  on 
uniform  sizes  of  sheets  for  each  kind  of  Ceramic  Mosaic,  and  the  designs  are  adapted  to  the 
size  of  sheet.  The  widest  variety  within  the  limits  of  economical  production  is  still  retained 
and  the  development  of  new  or  special  patterns  is  directed  into  the  channels  of  standardiza¬ 
tion.  Dimensions,  areas,  number  of  tesserae  per  square  foot  and  other  data  for  the  various 
standardized  sheets  will  be  found  on  page  3.

The  colors  shown  in  the  chart  on  page  2  represent  typical  or  average  shades  of  the  colors 
in  which  ceramic  mosaic  is  usually  manufactured,  and  it  should  be  thoroughly  understood 
that  these  shades  are  not  constants  but  indicate  the  general  character  of  the  color  and  will 
vary  according  to  producer.  The  color  nomenclature  has  been  held  in  simple  terms  to  avoid 
misunderstanding.

CERAMIC  MOSAIC 


STANDARDIZED  SHEETS 

The  illustrations  on  this  page  represent  the  sheet  units  in  which  ceramic  mosaic  is  marketed 
under  the  standardization  plan.  The  sizes  of  these  units  were  determined  upon  the  assumption 
that  a  sheet  approximately  Ex  2'could  be  handled  most  conveniently  and  efficiently,  and  that  the 
number  of  rows  of  tiles  per  unit  should  provide  the  greatest  possible  number  of  common  divisors, 
which  in  turn  would  assure  the  greatest  possible  variety  of  arithmetical  repeat  blocks. 

According  to  the  shape  and  size  of  the  tesserae,  the  sheets  differ  in  size,  number  of  tiles,  number 
of  rows,  and  mounting  plan.  This  information  is  given  under  each  illustration. 

These  standardized  units  are  furnished  in  any  of  the  colors  shown  on  the  opposite  page  or  in 
the  patterns  on  the  following  pages. 

For  plain  sheets,  i.  e.,  units  in  one  color,  it  is  sufficient  to  specify  or  order  by  sheet  number  as 
shown  and  color,  since  the  number  indicates  size  and  shape  of  tile  as  well  as  mounting  plan.

Numbering 

The  letters  and  numbers  shown  in  connection  with  each  standardized  sheet,  pattern,  border, 
or  trimmer  will  definitely  identify  the  desired  sheet  or  trimmer  in  specifications  and  orders. 
The  prefix  “C”  should  never  be  omitted  since  it  serves  as  a  distinguishing  symbol  from  other 
factory  numbers. 

Plain  Colors  Without  Pattern 

Sheets  in  any  solid  color,  without  pattern,  are  furnished  in  the  standardized  sizes  shown 
.on  page  3.  Orders  for  plain  colors  should  be  placed  by  number  of  standardized  sheet  and 
color. 


Patterns 

The  patterns  and  borders  reproduced  in  this  book  have  been  selected  from  the  catalogs 
of  the  different  manufacturers.  This  publication  therefore  serves  as  a  composite  catalog 
for  all  members  of  the  Associated  Tile  Manufacturers,  and  thus  enables  the  architect,  the 
contractor  and  the  buyer  of  tiles  generally,  to  make  his  selection  from  a  single  book  instead 
of  having  to  consult  a  dozen  or  more. 


Borders  and  Corners 

The  borders  are  all  furnished  in  the  same  unit  lengths  as  the  long  side  of  the  standardized 
sheets.  All  border  designs  have  been  selected  with  a  view  of  forming  corners  from  the  running 
lengths  of  the  border  without  cutting  the  tiles.  Special  corners  are  therefore  not  required. 
The  examples  on  pages  24  to  29  will  illustrate  the  formation  of  typical  corners. 


Changes  in  Colors 

The  color  combinations  of  the  patterns  shown  in  this  publication  are  not  fixed,  but  can  be 
varied  to  any  desired  combination.  The  pattern  numbers  apply  only  to  the  design,  i.  e.,  the 
arrangement  of  the  individual  tiles  into  a  pattern,  and  not  to  the  color  combination.  Changes 
in  the  color  combination  from  those  shown  in  the  book  should  be  clearly  specified,  since 
orders  for  any  pattern  without  instructions  as  to  colors  will  be  filled  in  accordance  with  the 
colors  shown  in  this  book. 


Trimmers 

The  standardized  trimmer  shapes  shown  on  page  30  can  be  furnished  in  any  of  the  colors 
shown  on  the  color  chart.  Orders  for  trimmers  should  therefore  specify  not  only  number 
and  letter  symbols,  but  also  the  colors  in  which  the  trimmers  are  to  be  furnished. 


Grades 


Ceramic  Mosaic  is  marketed  in  one  grade  only — “Selected.”  The  producers  have  avail¬ 
able,  however,  from  time  to  time,  a  small  quantity  of  white  tesserae  in  the  different  shapes 
and  sizes,  which  are  marketed  as  “Commercial”  grade.  This  commercial  grade  consists  of 
tiles  which  are  either  slightly  “specked,”  chipped,  underfired,  have  a  rough  surface,  or  other 
slight  blemishes. 

For  the  protection  of  the  consumer,  members  of  the  Associated  Tile  Manufacturers  will 
furnish,  upon  request,  certification  of  the  grade  on  the  special  form  of  grade  certificate  of  the 
Association  and  it  is  recommended  that  the  furnishing  of  such  certificates  be  stipulated  in

CERAMIC  MOSAIC 


specifications  for  tilework.  A  facsimile  of  the  grade  certificate  will  be  found  in  Publication 
K-200,  Basic  Information,  and  on  the  back  cover  of  Publication  K-300,  Basic  Specification 
for  Tilework. 


Joints  | 

The  normal  joint  between  the  individual  mounted  tiles  is  approximately  ViJ'.  This  width 
should  be  considered  as  average.  Slight  variations  in  the  width  of  joints  do  not  however 
affect  the  nominal  size  of  the  sheets,  nor  their  area. 


Special  Colors  and  Sizes 

In  addition  to  the  colors  and  sizes  shown  in  this  publication  as  standards,  the  manufacturers 
produce  a  number  of  special  colors,  sizes  and  textures  which  vary  in  characteristics  according 
to  producer,  but  may  be  used  in  place  of  those  shown  in  the  standardized  designs.  For  charac¬ 
teristics  of  other  kinds  of  Ceramic  Mosaic,  such  as  Glazed  Mosaic,  Cut  Mosaic,  Faience 
Mosaic,  etc.,  see  Publication  K-200,  Basic  Information,  page  12.
